Destiny

A Closer Look At Bungie's Armor, Weapons, And Loot

Collecting loot isn't just for RPGs anymore. Bungie's new shooter Destiny features an endless sea of collectible armor, weapons, and other gadgets that should keep you busy for a long time. Get a quick rundown of the gear you can hunt down when the game comes out in this developer diary.

Want a fire-spewing shotgun or a armor-piercing fusion rifle? How about a collection of armor that ranges from neo-Roman to '60s retro? Destiny has all that and more. Get the full scoop in the video below as you prepare for Destiny's September 9 release. Also, don't forget to check out our breakdown of the game's five most important features.

I'm keen to know if you can carry limitless weapons or if your character only has so much backpack space. Taking Borderlands as an example even though you could extend your carry space, in later game I was constantly agonising over decisions for what weapons to drop/sell or horde, I found this ultimately reduced my enjoyment of the game. I simply can't wait for Destiny to ship.

I have this game pre-ordered but i can't shake the feeling this game is going to miss the bar. I am predicting ratings of at least 9 across the board from all the major reviewers, sell enough to make a sequel viable and be forgotten in 6-8 months until said sequel is eventually announced. With that said it will still have its share of consistent fans who play beyond that 6-8 month period but I wager the population will drop off significantly.
I just can't see this game living up to the legacy of Halo that Bungie created that franchise was their crowning jewel and i don't think Destiny can top it.
